OK BRIEF HISTORY
I inherited my fathers 30-06 when I was 11 and learned to shoot and hunt on my own in Montana. I had my fathers original setup on this rifle which was a 1976 redfield scope and the mounts where break mounts and would flip the scope off to the left if you needed the factory open sites I never used the breaks just kept the scope in place and shot that for 20 years now. well the ex girly slamed the old scope in the door and cracked the lens.
so I went in and got a new scope and was told by the dealer that it was the wrong bases for this rifle well im looking to find the right mounts I tried several bases on it but I could not get the scope low enough on the rifle for bore sighting old fashion way and with bore laser to tune it in I would bottom out the elevation on it and be about 4-6 clicks away from the point I needed to set it at so dose anyone know which bases are the best to mount on this 1978 Winchester model 70 xtr
